Took a couple of minutes to be greeted and clearly our reservation was not prepared. Though the bar was virtually empty it took the host several minutes to clean tables and figure out where to seat us. We were given 1 cocktail menu and 1 food menu for 4 people. When I asked for another — we literally got 1 more cocktail menu. Apparently, sharing is caring. Service was terrible. Incredibly slow, the two servers/hosts/bussers (yea, they were doing it all) lacked any sense of urgency or customer engagement. We ordered 1 beer and 1 of their signature cocktails & it took about 10 minutes to get the beer and even longer for the cocktail. Both ordered at the same time but did not come out together. The next round of drinks came out faster but not enough to save the experience. Even for a hotel bar it has potential but the staff is ill-trained or simply in the wrong career.

The address leads to a set of doors that were not accessible so we had to enter through the Hotel which amplified that this was a lobby bar.

Then took our drink order but took 40 minutes to receive because the waitress never put the order in tried to blame it on two bartenders but everyone was drinking. They didn’t have anything on menu there for a Friday night. The best thing was the music and art. 3/10

I’m still thinking about the food there!! Portion sizes weren’t horrible but definitely on the pricey side. All the drinks were really good! I loved it!
